To think Bear Grylls is a smug-faced arse?

And that his real name is probably Julian. Or Terry.

Just had to switch channels after hearing him talk about 'journeys' for the 73rd time in one show.

His real name is Edward.
And I rather fancy him.

Stormingateacup · 20/02/2015 22:07

I like him but he does seem to take himself a bit too seriously.

ChristyMooreRocks · 20/02/2015 22:08

He is a dick.

ThatBloodyWoman · 20/02/2015 22:08

Oooo,I forgot that thingy is on too.
Well reminded -I'll look for him it on catch up.

YANBU.

PureMorning · 20/02/2015 22:09

He called his kids huckleberry and marmaduke.....

PunkrockerGirl · 20/02/2015 22:12

YANBU. And any programme that gives Jamelia air time needs boycotting, imo.

winewolfhowls · 20/02/2015 22:12

I would tho... with a cherry on top

thenightsky · 20/02/2015 22:14

I secretly fancy the arse off him, but I'm not watching as DH is watching recorded episodes of Good Wife :-(

PureMorning · 20/02/2015 22:15

Jamia and max from the wanted need to be chopped up for can rations

Have to admit I liked the purple bits in Jamelia's hair though...

Ew you couldn't shag him - he'd give you a speech about the journey you were embarking on and how you need to feel it in your gut first.

My ex looks very much like him.
Shame he was a complete tosser.

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2015 22:17

That programme-what was it even? where were Ant & Dec? Could Jamelia be any more annoying? Mrs Bryan Westlife? WTAF?

QueenBean · 20/02/2015 22:18

I have a crush on him too. I love his name and those of his children.

Jamelia is a whiny, moany so and so and shouldn't have gone on that show. Also I thought it was really bad to get braids wet, especially to be so dirty because they're impossible to clean / dry?

Tobyjugg · 20/02/2015 22:18

Ray Mears wannabe.

Oh I love him!!! And I was always a fan of Emilia fox from silent witness and I love the fact that she seems so lovely in "RL" too.

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2015 22:24

Did the Fox cousins know which other 'celebrities' were doing it? Confused

PacificDogwood · 20/02/2015 22:27

Edward Grylls' target audience is 5 to 7 year old boys and their middle-aged mothers and he seems to serve that demographic v well, what with biting off heads of frogs and snakes and eating bugs

HonourableKortonRepresentative · 20/02/2015 22:29

Do you remember when he let himself get stung by bees (one of his series, ages ago), even though he was allergic? As the episode went on, his face got puffier and puffier, till his eyes were like two tiny pissholes in the snow. TV gold.

ThatBloodyWoman · 20/02/2015 22:29

Its not the biting frogs heads off that appeals to this middle aged mother...

Gods no. Even DS won't watch him & he's in the Cubs. And have you read his books?
